Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Sheila frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, teaching practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness - approaches useful for intense emotions, relationship conflict, and impulsive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy is another element in her work, inviting gentle attention to present-moment experience to reduce reactivity and increase self-awareness, which can support coping with stress, cravings, and mood shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. Sheila works with clients to clarify goals, experiment with strategies, and select methods that best fit each person’s needs, preferences, and pace. She adapts techniques over time as goals evolve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, during breaks, or while traveling, and allow the therapeutic work to continue even when in-person visits are not feasible.
